They're only as good as the person who built it. I've seen some real sorry excuses for cobras out there..... a good build is going to be $30k or more.

I'd highly suggest its going to be 'or more'. A GOOD one will probably run closer to 50. Personally, they make great show cars, not so great track cars. To light and to much HP.

and bad aero from what i understand. unless you're making some serious bank and have cash money to throw around, there are far better and cheaper alternatives.

well the Factory 5 cars are sourced from a kit and i think 87-90 mustangs. the motor is supposed to be "stock." the brakes have to be the cast crap that came on them. contact laura and see if she can put you in touch with the F5 guys and steve marcus... he has a fleet of them.

Haha...a fleet. Kinda like my fleet of astin martins I guess? :wink:
And bad aero? as in -dynamics? The car would be for show I believe...highly doubt it'll get too much track time. Just a mid-life crisis auto.
